2.04A Class Project: the “Tower”
with Active Damping
2.004 Spring ’13 Lecture 09 – Wednesday, Feb. 27 1
Problem • Wind loading of skyscrapers causes tall building sway.
• Upper floor occupants suffer from motion sickness when the building sways in the wind since people are sensitive to accelerations as small as 0.05 m/s2 (0.005 g).
• Too much building sway can also lead to long-term structural damage.
• The Hancock Tower in Boston had a problem with falling windows. (The Hancock Tower now has two passively controlled 300 ton sliding masses on the 58th floor.)

Simplified Building Model
• We can model a tall building as a singledegree of freedom lumped-parameter system.

Damper
Wind force, One way to stabilize these Fw(t) tall builds from swaying too much during earthquakes or from high winds is to install enormous pendulum weights. When the building sways sideways the pendulum doesn't want to move (inertia) and exerts a pull in the opposite direction.
